Strike Products, Satellite Products, Covered ARC Products and Covered Hartford Products (referred to collectively herein as the
&ldquo;Covered Products&rdquo;) contain 3TG based on a product component survey process. The process involved compiling a list
of suppliers whose components may contain 3TG that were identified by our Product Stewardship group following an analysis of available
bills of materials, material specifications, or other documentation that described the materials contained in products that we
manufacture. Based on the components provided by the suppliers included on the compiled list, we determined that the Covered Products
were our only products manufactured in 2022 for which 3TG was necessary to the functionality or production of the products.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We purchase finished components necessary to
the functionality or production of products we manufacture. As a purchaser of these components, we are many steps removed in the
supply chain from the mining and processing of minerals that are in the components we purchase. In this regard, we do not purchase
3TG directly from mines, smelters or refiners and, accordingly, we do not have direct contractual relationships with mines, smelters
or refineries. We rely on our direct suppliers to provide us with information regarding the origin of the 3TG contained in the
components they supply to us. Our direct suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers. Accordingly,
our ability to provide the required Conflict Minerals information depends on the cooperation that we receive from our direct suppliers
and the cooperation they, in turn, receive from their suppliers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">We conducted a good faith reasonable country
of origin inquiry (&ldquo;RCOI&rdquo;) designed to determine whether any of the 3TG in the Covered Products originated or may have

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">We sent CMRTs to 82 suppliers who we believed,
based on the product component survey process for the 2022 reporting period, may have supplied components containing 3TG that were
used by Hexcel in the manufacture of the Covered Products in 2022. We subsequently determined that 33 of those suppliers were out
of scope due to prior supplier certification that no 3TG is contained in the components supplied, or confirmation that such components
were not used by Hexcel in the manufacture of Covered Products in 2022. As of the date of this Conflict Minerals Report, of the 49 remaining suppliers,
31 responded that the components supplied did not contain 3TG, nine responded that the components supplied contained or may contain
3TG necessary to the functionality or production of such components (the &ldquo;3TG Component Suppliers&rdquo;) and 13 were non-responsive.
Seven of the nine 3TG Component Suppliers responded that the 3TG contained in the components supplied were either not sourced from
any Covered Country or were sourced from a smelter listed as &ldquo;conformant&rdquo; in RMI&rsquo;s Standard Smelters and Refiners
List. The two remaining 3TG Component Suppliers responded that the source countries or smelters for some or all of the 3TG in their
supply chain were unknown. We directed several follow-up communications to each of the non-responsive suppliers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">The vast majority of suppliers from which we
requested information indicated in their response that the information provided was at a company or divisional level, and included
a list of smelters used to process 3TG contained in the components supplied to all of their customers. The remaining suppliers
did not include a list of smelters in their responses. Therefore, it is not possible for us to determine with certainty the specific
facilities used to process the 3TG used in the Covered Products.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">Accordingly, as of the
date of this Conflict Minerals Report, we have not received sufficient information from our suppliers to determine with certainty the country of
origin of all of the 3TG used in the Covered Products, or to identify all of the facilities used to process such 3TG. Therefore,
we cannot exclude the possibility that some of the 3TG used in the Covered Products may have originated from non-conflict free
sources in the Covered Countries.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">For 2022, Hexcel utilized due diligence measures
based on the applicable criteria set forth in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development&rsquo;s Due Diligence
Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Third Edition), and the related
supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten (the &ldquo;OECD Guidance&rdquo;). Given our position in the supply chain,
our due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the
necessary Conflict Minerals in the products we manufacture. We have no direct relationships with smelters or refiners, and therefore
possess no independent means of determining the source and origin of conflict mineral ores processed by smelters or refiners. Our
due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from our suppliers and component manufacturers and those suppliers
seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the necessary Conflict Minerals. We
also rely upon information provided through initiatives such as RMI&rsquo;s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (&ldquo;RMAP&rdquo;)
to conduct smelter and refiner due diligence.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">The following is a discussion of Hexcel&rsquo;s
due diligence efforts:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;"><I>Establish Strong Company Management Systems</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">Hexcel&rsquo;s management system includes a
cross-functional team, with members from our Sourcing and Product Stewardship groups and our Law Department (the &ldquo;Conflict
Minerals Team&rdquo;). The Conflict Minerals Team responsible for implementing Hexcel&rsquo;s conflict minerals compliance program
is led jointly by Hexcel&rsquo;s Vice President, Global Sourcing and Supplier Quality and Hexcel&rsquo;s Vice President, Environmental,
Health and Safety and is overseen by Hexcel management. Hexcel management is briefed about the results of the Conflict Minerals
Team&rsquo;s progress and due diligence efforts on a periodic basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">In accordance with the OECD Guidance calling
for the strengthening of engagement with suppliers, we have utilized certifications, an explanation of the Conflict Minerals Rule,
and, as noted above, CMRTs to obtain information relating to 3TG sourcing from our relevant suppliers. We believe that these measures
have assisted our suppliers in understanding Hexcel&rsquo;s expectations. We have established a documentation and record maintenance
procedure to ensure the retention of relevant documentation in an electronic database.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">Hexcel has adopted a statement on Conflict Minerals, to communicate
to the public and Hexcel&rsquo;s supply chain our intention to support the social goals underlying the Conflict Minerals Rule.
The statement is available at: <FONT STYLE="color: Blue"><U>https://investors.hexcel.com/sustainability/our-social-commitment/default.aspx</U></FONT> and is attached to this Conflict Minerals Report as Appendix A. Additionally, our Sourcing group continues to integrate provisions related
to the requirements of the Conflict Minerals Rule into new supply agreements or renewals of existing supply agreements during
the course of negotiations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">Finally, Hexcel has established a confidential
ethics and compliance helpline operated by a third party available to all Hexcel employees, as well as concerned individuals outside
of Hexcel, including our customers and suppliers. Among other things, the ethics and compliance helpline may be used to address
issues in connection with our Conflict Minerals diligence and reporting process, and the reporting person may remain anonymous,
subject to applicable laws governing helplines. The U.S. toll-free number for the ethics helpline is +1-844-929-1438, or a report
can be made online at <FONT STYLE="color: Blue"><U>http://hexcel.ethicspoint.com</U></FONT> or via mobile phone at <FONT STYLE="color: Blue"><U>http://hexcel.navexone.com</U></FONT>.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0;">Our direct suppliers of
components containing 3TG provided us with information about the source of 3TG contained in their components, including, in some
instances, the sourcing of material from smelters listed as &ldquo;conformant&rdquo; in RMI&rsquo;s Standard Smelters and Refiners
List. We assess supplier risk based on our assessment of the completeness, credibility and consistency of the information our suppliers

efforts to source 3TG used in its components from non-conflict free sources, Hexcel will reassess product design or its relationship

to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) regulations requiring publicly traded companies to report annually
to the SEC with regard to conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products (the &ldquo;Conflict
Minerals Rule&rdquo;). The SEC adopted the Conflict Minerals Rule to comply with provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act. These provisions were designed to address humanitarian concerns that the exploitation and trade of
conflict minerals originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries (the &ldquo;Covered Countries&rdquo;)
is helping to finance conflict characterized by extreme levels of violence. &ldquo;Conflict Minerals&rdquo; include gold, columbite-tantalite
